Meet your facilitators and hosts:
Sally Meredith
Sally deeply values the importance of cultivating compassion that begins within our relationship toward ourselves. This is one of the greatest gifts she has received from the yogic path. Being intrigued by the experiential anatomy of our bodies and timeless yogic concepts, Sally's offerings will guide you on a poetic journey with your breath, body and heart.
Sally is looking forward to bringing the lens of Chinese Medicine to the retreat, a wonderful tool to guide us in tuning into the rhythm of nature’s seasons (as well as the seasons of our lives). She will share ways we can explore, apply and embody the 5 elements of Chinese Medicine in yoga poses, diet and lifestyle choice, and self care.
Sally works with individuals and groups under her business

Liarna is most passionate about creating nurturing and supportive environments for people to explore and attune to the innate wisdom of the body through dance, movement, self inquiry and the healing arts practices. She is particularly dedicated to working with trauma that has locked in the body and relational field; thus showing up through the narrative and creating disharmony in ones life. Her mission and intent is to support the unravelling of that which is blocking one from living fully free in the heart of each moment. Liarna especially loves working with dance and movement as tools for authentic expression and to bring a greater sense of balance and harmony through the body and life experience.
Liarna also works with Art to Healing which is a not for profit organization; supporting women in Nepal whom have survived sex slavery and exploitation. The project utilizes art therapy, trauma informed yoga, womens health and Somatic Experiencing to support these women to connect with their bodies in an empowered way; to honour their womanhood and love and respect themselves wholeheartedly.
